"No one knows how long it was there, but the yellow jacket hive was about the size of a minivan and growing." Shit, that's one big freakin' hive. Too bad they didn't make a 50s horror movie about it. It could have been in the THEM! class.

What weenies we have in modern society. They are no longer "exterminators", but they are now called Pest Control. They don't kill unwanted critters, they "calm" them. (Ever seen a dead thing? Seems pretty calm, don't it?)

If there are people on this earth that are so squeamish that they balk at the idea of killing yellowjackets, rats, roaches, and other assorted nasty little critters, then we should ship them to the Australian bush and let them die there.

I don't mean to rant, I really don't. I just have a mental condition that does not let me tolerate idiots or idiocy in general. My brain sees something stupid and just won't shut up about it. The only way I can make the screaming in my head stop is to vent it in the open.

Sometimes I am kept awake at night by the frigging static in my own mind. It is unbelievable. I have been tempted to hit myself in the head with a bat just so my brain will shutup...

I think it's just a reaction to the geometric increase in societal stupidity since the sixties. You witness countless daily incidents that defy the laws of common sense, much less common decency, and no one else seems to notice. My preferred method of dealing with it all is a tinfoil hat, blackout glasses, and earplugs.

On a serious note, one thing I did that helped is I stopped watching primetime TV and the news. I think that that the stupidity explosion is fueled mainly by TV and radio, the judiciary, and public schools. I noticed that when I stopped watching & listening I could think more clearly. My mind wasn't constantly paralized with exasperation at the unabashed and unbridled antics of the idiots. I don't miss anything important, the big news always manages to filter down to me quite quickly, but I've removed the daily fixation on the minutia(sp?) of the moronic.
